837: Let it go for now, the farce is over

At this moment, while apologizing, the five of them also offered generous gifts.

The stakes they had each put up when they made their bet earlier were also all brought out now.

However, Chu Ying's gaze remained cold, full of chilling intent, and his killing aura had hardly diminished.

Frankly, Chu Ying had no intention of letting these people go, even if they came from those top-tier colossal powers; he was not afraid.

He had the confidence and conviction now!

But Chu Ying also understood a crucial point, especially the words the Reincarnation Immortal Palace Elder had just spoken, which undoubtedly showed his stance.

He could kill these five people, but not here on Reincarnation Mountain, otherwise, it would be very difficult for Reincarnation Immortal Palace.

"Fellow Daoist, do you perhaps feel their apology lacks sincerity?"

The Reincarnation Immortal Palace Elder, who, like Wang Chao and Bai Hanfei, did not want Chu Ying to continue acting, spoke up when he saw that Chu Ying seemed to have no intention of stopping.

His words seemed to be asking Chu Ying, but in reality, they were a warning to the five, including Wang Chao: if they didn't want to die, then they had best offer a truly sincere apology and compensation.

The five heard his unspoken meaning, exchanged glances, and then gritted their teeth.

"I am willing to offer my entire fortune; please forgive me, Fellow Daoist!"

"Me too; please be magnanimous, Your Excellency."

"I am willing to offer my storage ring as compensation..."

The five spoke one after another, this time all taking out their storage rings. They had no choice; they didn't want to die. Although it was humiliating, they had already begun to apologize and compensate, so it was just a matter of enduring the humiliation.

Seeing this, Chu Ying narrowed his eyes.

The Reincarnation Immortal Palace Elder couldn't help but say, "Fellow Daoist, do you have any other conditions? Could you spare them for the sake of Reincarnation Immortal Palace's Face, as this is within our territory?"

Clearly, he had also realized something.

Chu Ying said coldly, "For the sake of Reincarnation Immortal Palace's Face, I can let them go."

"But they also no longer need to join Reincarnation Immortal Palace."

As soon as these words were spoken, clear and concise, the Elder suddenly understood and immediately looked at the five, including Wang Chao:

"And you? Do you accept?"

"Although, by rights, you have passed the Three Lives Stone Sea assessment and can enter my Reincarnation Immortal Palace for cultivation, you five have caused trouble at the foot of my Reincarnation Mountain, disrupting the order here..."

"We accept!" Bai Hanfei immediately agreed.

"Accept!" Wang Chao, Lu Shaolin, Left Gate Hairy Feather, and Lin Zhiran all nodded in agreement.

By this point, they no longer had much desire to join Reincarnation Immortal Palace, because this whole ordeal had caused them to lose all Face and suffer immense humiliation.

Now, they only had one thing to do: get revenge!

Don't think that because they apologized and handed over all their possessions and storage rings now, they won't seek revenge. Once they escape and find the powerful Cultivators from their backing powers, whether it's a Seven Tribulation Quasi-Emperor or an Eight Tribulation Quasi-Emperor, they will definitely return to settle the score!

And when they do, they will be even more ruthless!

Of course, for now, they must endure, they must be cautious, begging for mercy when necessary, and bowing their heads when required.

A wise man adapts to circumstances; if even Loose Cultivators understand this principle, how could these Prodigies from top-tier powers not?

Chu Ying was expressionless.

The Elder said calmly, "Since that is the case, why are you not quickly getting out of here?"

As his words fell, the five instinctively glanced in Chu Ying's direction, then fled without looking back, not even bothering with the Disciples who had come with their factions.

Of course, those Disciples also left immediately afterward.

Only the treasures and storage rings, their entire fortunes, that the five had taken out, remained.

In response, Chu Ying coldly snorted, flicked his sleeve, and collected all those items into his possession.

"Tsk tsk, so many treasures, and Wang Chao's storage rings, all taken by this person."

"He definitely made a huge profit! Those five are all from top-tier colossal Dao Lineages, Prodigies on the Heavenly Talent List, so their fortunes are definitely considerable!"

"Just the treasures they put up during their previous bet were already substantial, except for the replica of 'Fallen Immortal Record' that Bai Hanfei took out."

"Ah, how great would it be if they were all mine, High Grade Quasi-Emperor weapons, Seven-Leaf Sword Grass..."

The whispers among the crowd were naturally heard clearly by Chu Ying.

He didn't care much about treasures like Quasi-Emperor weapons or Spirit Medicine, but a phrase he unexpectedly heard, "Fallen Immortal Record," made him a little curious.

However, this was clearly not the time to deal with those "spoils of war."

He directly stored those items into the Immeasurable World, isolating their Heavenly Secrets, so even if the five had tampered with those items, it would be useless.

...

The commotion settled, and the people from the Five Great Powers departed.

Tang Ye of the Nine Radiance Battle Alliance, however, appeared extremely awkward, and now could only silently retreat to the side. Other Cultivators of the Nine Radiance Battle Alliance also dared not show their Faces.

They even had thoughts of leaving here; perhaps not entering Reincarnation Immortal Palace would be safer.

Chu Ying merely gave that person a faint glance, giving him a way out, and no longer cared.

After all, compared to those five, this person hadn't truly provoked him.

At this moment, the Seven Tribulation Quasi-Emperor Elder from Reincarnation Immortal Palace coughed and said:

"Alright, this farce ends here. All who wish to join my Reincarnation Immortal Palace for cultivation, as long as the basic conditions are met, may enter the Three Lives Stone Sea for assessment."

After he finished speaking, the other Reincarnation Immortal Palace Disciples also began to maintain order, but no one dared to look in Chu Ying's direction.

It was clear that even if a Reincarnation Immortal Palace Disciple provoked Chu Ying, they would certainly not survive.

The scene began to restore order, and everyone's attention shifted once again.

And with Chu Ying's intimidating display, hardly anyone dared to stare wantonly at the group of Beauties around Chu Ying anymore.

"Fellow Daoist, why don't you also try entering the Three Lives Stone Sea? I'm sure my Reincarnation Immortal Palace has places worth exploring for you."

The Elder said with a smile to Chu Ying.

"Heh heh, then I'll give it a try," Chu Ying said with a fake smile.

Actually, at this point, Chu Ying no longer really wanted to enter this Reincarnation Immortal Palace for cultivation.

Because from the Elder's conduct just now, Reincarnation Immortal Palace was likely a power that played it safe and was relatively neutral, belonging to the type that wouldn't offend others unless provoked, and probably had many reservations.

...

"Except for Hongyi and Qingluan."

"All of you go in and give it a try."

Chu Ying turned to look at the group of Beauties and Dao Companions beside him.

This Three Lives Stone Sea of Reincarnation Immortal Palace was a very good place to prove one's talent. As long as one displayed talent here and gained fame,

Then even if they didn't want to join Reincarnation Immortal Palace, people from other top-tier colossal powers would come to invite them.

This was why Chu Ying let his Beauties enter the Three Lives Stone Sea to participate in the assessment.

Of course, Chu Ying himself might even have to try it.

Upon hearing this, the group of Beauties exchanged glances, then became eager to try.

"Brother Chu, I'll go first," Yu Chuyue volunteered and stepped forward.

But then Ling Xuejiu and Li Yushu, the Fengyun Saintess sisters, followed closely behind, not to be outdone.

"Just three people for now," Chu Ying stopped the other Beauties.
